200. After receiving an answer to his challenge, the sentinel 

 calls, "Corporal of the guard (so-and-so)," repeating the an- 

 swer to the challenge. 



He does not in such cases repeat the number of his post. 



201. He r(-niains in the position assumed in challenging until 

 the corporal has recognized or advanced the person or party 

 challenged, when he resumes walking his post, or, if the per- 

 son or party be entitled thereto, he salutes and, as soon as the 

 salute has been acknowledged, resumes walking his post. 



202. The sentinel at the post of the guard will be notified by 

 direction of the commanding officer of the presence in camp or 

 garrison of per.sons entitled to the compliment. (Par. 224.) 



203. The following examples illustrate the manner in which 

 the sentinel at the post of the guard will turn out the guard 

 upon the approach of persons or parties entitled to the compli- 

 ment (Pars. 224, 227, and 228), "Turn out the guard, com- 

 manding officer"; "Turn out the guard, governor of a Terri- 

 tory"; "Turn out the guard, national colors"; "Turn out 

 the guard, armed party"; etc. 



At the approach of the new guard at guard mounting the 

 sentinel will call, " Turn out the guard, armed party." 



204. Should the person named by the sentinel not desire the 

 guard formed, he will salute, whereupon the sentinel will call 

 " Never mind the guard." 



205. After having called " Turn out the guard," the sentinel 

 will never call " Never mind the guard," on the approach of an 

 armed party. 



206. Though the guard be already formed he will not fail to 

 call, " Turn out the guard," as required in his special orders, 

 except that the guard will not be turned out for any person 

 while his senior is at or coming to the post of the guard. 



207. The sentinels at the post of the guard will warn the 

 commander of the approach of any armed body and of the 

 presence in the vicinity of all suspicious or disorderly per- 

 sons. 



208. In case of fire or disorder in sight or ?>5aring, the sen- 

 tinel at the guardhouse will call the corporal of the guard and 

 report the facts to him.
